I have the next issue I don't seem to be able to solve myself. My xoops installation is using xlanguage and I have four languages installed: English, German, French and Italian.

When I set the language and I go into the news I cant set the date. I get to see what's visible on the pic attached.

Has anyone ever had the same issue and solved it?

I think they will never or not able fix this problem.

I did looked into this and that's what I found (and hopefully, I didn't make any mistake - so please test it):

1) The error what he was getting happens normally when he was using an older translation that didn't have defined the "_CAL_FORMAT" in /language/xxx/calendar.php like this or something similar:

define('_CAL_FORMAT',"Y-m-d");

To test it, in your local language comment it out, and try it.

2) Replacing "_CAL_FORMAT" by "_SHORTDATESTRING" in "formtextdateselecte.php was just a shortcut to get the value

3) However, as long as you were using in the "_SHORTDATESTRING" the value "m", e.g.:

define('_SHORTDATESTRING','m/d/Y');


then it was working fine. But there was a bug in calendar.js for value "n", like here:

define('_SHORTDATESTRING','n/j/Y');


Normally it was not visible, because we had hard-coded in calendar.php:

define('_CAL_FORMAT',"Y-m-d");


I fixed that now, and also assigned the "_SHORTDATESTRING" to "_CAL_FORMAT":

define('_CAL_FORMAT',_SHORTDATESTRING);


so there should be no more problems, as long as "_SHORTDATESTRING" language variable is defined in your "global.php" local language files.

I have committed the code to XOOPS SVN, so please test it in your local langugaes and let us know if it works for you...
